•Prepare the Windshield:Preparation:Ensure the windshield is clean and dry before starting the repair process. Use a glass cleaner to remove any dirt, dust, or debris from the cracked area.Application:Inspect the crack to determine its size and depth. For best results, address cracks early before they become too large.
•Apply the Resin:Preparation:Open the Rayhong windshield repair kit and prepare the resin applicator.Application:Carefully apply a small drop of resin directly into the crack using the applicator provided. Make sure the resin fills the entire crack without overflowing.
•Apply the Curing Film:Preparation:Cut a piece of curing film (included in the kit) to cover the applied resin.Application:Place the curing film over the resin-filled crack, smoothing it out to ensure there are no air bubbles trapped underneath.
•Remove Air Bubbles:Preparation:Use a plastic scraper or blade (provided in the kit) to gently press down on the curing film and remove any air bubbles.Application:Work from the center of the patch outward to ensure all air bubbles are removed, allowing the resin to cure evenly.
•Cure the Resin:Preparation:Choose between natural sunlight or a UV lamp for curing. If using sunlight, park the vehicle in direct sunlight for 10-30 minutes. If using a UV lamp, follow the manufacturer's instructions for exposure time.Application:Allow the resin to cure completely under the chosen method. The curing film will help protect the resin while it hardens.
•Remove the Curing Film:Preparation:Once the resin has fully cured, carefully peel off the curing film.Application:Start from one corner and slowly pull the film away to avoid damaging the newly repaired area.
•Trim Excess Resin:Preparation:Use a sharp blade or scraper to carefully remove any excess resin that may have seeped out during the curing process.Application:Scrape off the excess resin gently to avoid scratching the glass. Ensure the repaired area is smooth and flush with the surrounding glass.
•Final Cleaning:Routine:Clean the windshield again with a glass cleaner to remove any residue and ensure a clear, unobstructed view.Application:Buff the area with a microfiber cloth to enhance clarity and shine.
•Special Considerations:Large Cracks:For larger or more complex cracks, consider consulting a professional for repair to ensure the best possible outcome.Environmental Factors:Avoid performing the repair in extremely cold or hot conditions, as temperature extremes can affect the curing process.Maintenance:Regularly inspect your windshield for new cracks or chips and address them promptly to prevent further damage.
